Application l'ed November 11, 1920, Serial No. 423,379.

To aZZ whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, HENRI GAUVIN, a subject of the King of GreatBritain, a resident of the city of Saskatoon, Province of Saskatchewan,Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inWall or Building Constructions, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to improvements in wall or building construction,and the obj ects of the invention are to construct a wall which will beproperly insulated both as regards cold and heat, so that any buildingconstructed with walls of this type will be warm in the winterandcool inthe summer,

to perniit of the ready assembly of the several parts of the wall, andgenerally to adaptr them to` better perform the functions required ofthem.

' With the above and other objects in view, the invention consistsessentially of the improved construction lhereinafter described and setforth in the following specification and accompaying drawings formingpart of ythe same. f

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of my improved wall.

Fig. 2 vis a horizontal section.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary vertical section of the improved wall.

Like characters of reference refer to like parts in the several figures.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the improved wall comprising aplurality of vertically disposed studs 10, which may be vof any suitablesize andspaced to any suitable extent compatible with strength and withthe type of building under construction.

On each stud 10 a furring rod 11 is provided and metallic-laths 12 areconnected thereto by staples 13 or like fastening means, the metalliclaths 12 being attached to the studding by starting at the top 'andworking downwardly so that each lower lath will overlap the higheradjacent one.

I These laths may be of any usual construction having orificestherethrough provided with suitable binding edges to hold thematerialwith which the laths are covered.v The outer face of the laths havethree coats of stucco (Portland cement) 14 applied thereto, and one coatof back plaster 15 is applied to the inner face of the laths 12 betweenthe studding, and this back plaster is coated with hot asphalt asindicated at 16.

The inner wall consists of heavy felt paper v17 which is treated with aheavy coat of hot asphalt and is attached to the studs in any convenientmanner, and wooden laths 18 are then attached to the studs 10 above theheavy felt paper, and on the laths a coating of inside plaster 19 isapplied. The space between the inner and outer members of the wall andAstuds is packed with granulated cork or shavings 20 or any other heatinsulating material.

This wall will be readily assembled or built and will insulate thebuilding against' cold and heat, so thatthe building will retain theheat from a heating system in winter time, and in summer will excludethe external heat.

As many changes could be made in the above construction and many widelydifferent embodiments of my invention within the scope of the claims,constructed without departing from the spirit or scope thereof, it isintended that all matter contained in the accompanying specification anddrawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limitingsense.

WhatI claim as my invention is:

1. Wall construction consisting of a plurality of spaced studs, furringrods and metallic laths attached to the outer edgeo-f the studs andadapted to receive coatings of outside plaster and a coating of insideplaster between the studs, the inside coating of plaster havin -asphaltapplied thereto, the inner ed es o the studs having lath and plasterapplled thereto.

2. Wall construction comprising a plu-.

rality of spaced studs, furring rods and metallic laths attached to theouter edges of the studs, laths being applied from the top to the bottomof the wall, so that the underlaths will overlap `the adjacent upperlaths, the laths being designed to receive plaster on the outer face,and plaster on the inner face between the studs, the inner coating ofplaster being treated with asphalt, the inner edges of the studs havinga flexible material x treated with asphalt attached thereto and havingan outer face of lath .and plaster, the space between the inner andouter portions of the wall being lilled with insulatingun/a terial.

3. The Wall constructionv claimed in claim studs is filled Withgranulated cork or wood shavings. y

4; Wall construction comprising a plurality of spaced studs and metalliclaths attached to the outer edges of the studs, laths being applied fromthe top to the bottom of the Wall, so that the underlaths will overlapthe adjacent upper laths, the laths being designed to receive plaster onthe outer face,

and plaster on the'inner face between the studs the inner edges 'of thestudshaving a flexible material treated with asphalt attached theretoand having an innermost face of lath and' plaster, the space betWeeITthe inner and outer portion of the Wall being filled With insulatingmaterial.

In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand inthe lpresence of aWitness.
